Condition Report: Movement is complete and appears all original with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The movement is essentially in full working order however is generally somewhat dirty/neglected hence a gentle clean/service is required. The Roman numerals to the chapter ring have been retouched and show signed of rubbing/wear; the dial panel itself exhibits slight oxidation otherwise is in fine condition. The case is in good original condition however most of the gilding has been rubbed-off (probably through successive years of polishing). Both side glasses have very slight corner/edge chips (only visible on close examination) otherwise glasses are free from visible damage. Clock has a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer
